If it's new, I'd imagine a Gen 3? What I'm curious about is, if Stellantis owns VM Motori, and Mopar has done a complete 360 on the electric push from the last administration - if the ole Pasta-diesel makes a comeback... fully deleted and tuned right out of the box. :unsure:

So.... after a few weeks of jiggling the fob, and playing the odds... I finally just went and did a thing... Quick and easy job.

There's a bunch of ideas about a similar situation as yours here : https://www.ram1500diesel.com/threads/alternator-wiring.73924/ From the sound of things, our 4th gens charging is still dictated by the ECU - like a "command" or "Demand" based on other factors. There's a simple diagram in that...

I typically use a needle-bottle with Kroil in it to inject a little here and there on stubborn connectors. I also do the "tighten to loosen" thing while trying to get it out by pushing the connector inward just a hair and trying to work them out (recently did this on every single underhood and...

For once, a happy-ending update. So in my paranoia and constant defcon-1 levels of worry since most dealerships in my area are criminal when it comes to estimates, and how they seemingly ensure my third-party warranty people deny ANY coverage for the 3 years I wasted on that service, I started...

Correction... U1424

So recently in my part of Texas, we've been getting quite a bit of rain - not Kerrville levels, but pretty steady, heavy occasional rain several times a day - a lot of the roads in Houston get high water pretty easily. About 5 days ago or so I was stuck in the right lane because NOBODY wanted...

It's an EPA problem. These things had gasoline engine tech force-fed on them, including the EGR, which eventually clogs up the mains and rods and creates a GIANT lump of useless steel. They discontinued this engine simply because they couldn't Dodge (pun intended) the EPA, which is now...

I'm not convinced its the key - I'm beginning to think it's the switch in the dash the keyfob fits in to. Today I got ZERO display, not even the odometer, but twisting the fob to the start position still works. I'm getting a new set of 2032's for the fob just in case.

I'll take a stab at this. New OEM intake with zero soot in it, remove the swirl valves, leave the module connected to keep the ECU happy turning valveless shafts. Delete tune, full exhaust delete. Insane Diesel Secondary oil filtration system. I also run Howes Meaner-Kleaner several times a...

Let's see if you've ever heard this one. Drove my truck all weekend, no issues, start-up process is the same as it always was in almost 3 years of ownership. This morning I'm heading out to work, unlock the doors, get inside, place phone, place thermos, place lunch, stick the keyfob in the...

New update : I went ahead and replaced the blower motor this morning. This was probably the easiest one I've ever had to do - and I'll be making a video series on it when I film the second half. Turns out the blower was okay, and I learned the resistor is built in - a nice, neat little package...

Quick little update : Mine does have the cabin air filter already there - replaced the filter twice now since I've owned it - I can definitely hear the blower doing blower things, but I'm starting to think a little higher up the circuit now. I've seen several videos covering the recirculator...

It's late May as I write this, and here in Texas, summer has already given us a pretty nasty preview of what's to come. Like many of you, I drive a Crew cab, that's at least 6 vents when the air is on, 4 big ones up front, widely spaced apart, and two token vents in the rear, again, with a long...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here since I've dealt with quite a number of vehicles that sort-of require this. When you guys replaced the motor, was it a crate engine or a used one? If it was the latter, did you request the ECU that came from that engine? I know it sounds strange, but a lot of...

I'm in agreement with Shadowsabre here - basically attack the problem in reverse order. Start with the last thing done to it before the problems started, and undo them one at a time until the problem resolves itself. Do every change with the battery disconnected and the ECU reset. It may take...

...but are these temps, what you'd consider "normal?" I was never one to monitor transmission temps, and have known quite a few people who quarter-mile with monsters calling out trans temps far lower than this. This photo was just my normal casual commute home from work - about a 14 mile trip...

I wanted to go this route, but ended up just getting a new OE intake on the cheap. Removed all the swirl valves, but left the actuator in place for the wiring, so all it will do is turn empty shafts. I love the clean lines of the Banks intake, but the new OE one serves the same purpose. I'll...

There's a sensor or probe of some sort that will freak out if you simply block it off. Your best bet is to get an aftermarket tune that simply shuts off the EGR valve. Keep in mind, if you ever take the rig in for service where they may flash your ECU, you'll want to "revert" it back to stock...

My last oil change of Rotella T6 15w40 only gave me 3157 miles... odd? No chunks, no oddities, no bizarre oil pressure numbers. Perhaps this is because of a poorer quality filter? I typically run K&N's but the filter I used on this interval came with the new filter-cap - maybe not as stringent...
